AI watches a designated Google Sheet for new rows (lead name, phone, source). Within 5 minutes of a new row appearing, AI sends a WhatsApp message to the lead. If no response in 2 hours, a voice call is placed. Lead status column updated after each interaction. Duplicate phone numbers are automatically skipped.
